After a long and tiring day at work, you deserve to relax with a long, hot bath. This is especially true during the cooler seasons in Denver. Such a scenario is possible because of the presence of your water heater. Unfortunately, hot water is a convenience that many people take for granted—until the water heater completely gives up on them.http://www.totalplbg.com/replacing-plumbing-appliances-water-heater-due-change/

Of the many appliances currently in your home, your heating and cooling system is likely to be the most energy-consumptive one of the bunch. You will rely on your HVAC for comfort during periods of intense heat and/or cold, and it will cost a lot to keep them powered for days. You will have to take every opportunity you can to save on your power costs when it comes to your HVACs.http://www.totalplbg.com/good-heating-cooling-systems-wise-investments-homeowners/

In an age where more people are conscious about the state of Mother Nature, homeowners and building owners have to be more considerate of what type of buildings decide to put up. Sustainability is the name of the game, and everyone has to do his part in order to reduce his carbon footprint and do nature a favor. A new building, whether for residential or commercial purposes, should be designed such that it does not contribute to more wastage.http://www.totalplbg.com/efficient-hvac-systems-help-create-sustainable-homes-workplaces/

When it comes to commercial plumbing in Denver, the most common problems include leaky fixtures, clogged drains, running or clogged toilets, and sewer odors. Various industries or businesses experience these issues, including restaurants, retailers, and health care facilities. When these are left unattended to long enough, they can spell disaster for the business. Why Do the Problems Occur? Many employees and customers use the plumbing fixtures in commercial facilities every day, which means the plumbing undergoes wear and tear faster, or gets accidentally damaged more often. Clogs in the toilets and urinals can be caused by improper disposal of waste products like toilet papers. The drains of kitchen sinks can develop a buildup of fatty or oily compounds, grease, and food debris, especially in foodservice businesses.http://www.totalplbg.com/commercial-plumbing-denver-top-problems-risks-businesses/

Summer in Colorado is also known as lightning season and the formidable--although often forgotten--threat to your safety should never be underestimated. Lightning strikes can cause massive power surges, around 50,000 degrees F of heat per bolt, which can then result in fires leaving extensive property damages worth up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as deaths and injuries. These grave risks should encourage every homeowner to improve protection at home. Aside from installing lightning protection systems and surge protection devices, you can fix certain elements in your home to reduce or eliminate common fire hazards. Even without lightning, there are certain parts of the home that may be prone to sparking electrical fires, especially if the property was built before the updated building codes.http://www.totalplbg.com/denver-plumbing-pros-can-help-reduce-electrical-fire-hazards-home/

You’re probably working your air conditioning system to the hilt now that warm weather is in full swing. However, as you very well know, overworking your system makes it prone to defects and inefficiencies. If you notice your AC system is less cool than usual, here’s what you need to do before you call in a Denver heating and air conditioning professional: Replace your filters Replacing your AC system’s filter is one of the easiest ways to ensure optimal performance. Ideally, you should replace them once every month during the warm seasons. If it’s been a while since you’ve done so, that could be the reason your AC is not hitting the desired temperatures. Check the filter model in the unit, and buy the same type.http://www.totalplbg.com/denver-heating-air-conditioning-troubleshooting-tips-ac/
